In this solo episode I share the vision for the show, emphasizing the importance of amplifying African voices and discussing literature, politics, and culture. I reflect on my journey as a writer and the need for a platform that fosters meaningful conversations about African narratives. The episode also highlights the role of alternative media in providing diverse perspectives and the significance of building a community around shared interests in writing and culture. I also attempt to make a case why we shouldn't ban podcasts.
